Genesis 3:1-24 NIV
The Fall
1Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals The LORD GOD Had Made. He said to the woman,
“Did GOD Really Say, ‘You must not eat from any tree
in the garden’?”
in the garden’?”
2The woman said to the serpent,
“We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3but GOD Did Say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.
5 “For GOD Knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like GOD, knowing good and evil.”
5 “For GOD Knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like GOD, knowing good and evil.”
6When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.
She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it.
7Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.
8Then the man and his wife heard The Sound of The LORD GOD As HE Was Walking in the Garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from The LORD GOD among the trees of the garden.
9But The LORD GOD Called to the man,
“Where are you?”
11And HE Said,
“Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten
from the tree that I Commanded you not to eat from?”
“Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten
from the tree that I Commanded you not to eat from?”
“The woman YOU Put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
“What is this you have done?”
The woman said,
“The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
“Because you have done this,
“Cursed are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dust
all the days of your life.
15And I Will Put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and hers;
HE Will Crush your head,
and you will strike HIS Heel.”
16To the woman HE Said,
“I Will Make your pains in childbearing
very severe;
very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to
children.
children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.”
“Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from
the tree about which I Commanded you, ‘You must not
eat from it,’
the tree about which I Commanded you, ‘You must not
eat from it,’
“Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
18It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
19By the sweat of your brow
you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”
22And The LORD GOD Said,
“The man has now become Like ONE of US, knowing
good and evil.
good and evil.
He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the
Tree of Life and eat, and live forever.”
Tree of Life and eat, and live forever.”
23So The LORD GOD Banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24After HE Drove the man Out, HE Placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the Tree of Life.
